Big Anti-Ice Protest In Galveston-Masked Galveston Police

please CONTRIBUTE to the houston democracy project

​​I went to an anti-ICE, pro-freedom protest in Galveston on Sunday, 2/1. There were estimates of up to 700 people in attendance. Above you see a picture of some of the crowd. 

Below you see two Galveston police wearing masks at the protest. Multiple people asked the total off the masks, but they did not. I don't know why we need masked city police. 

Going to Galveston for this protest brought make this memory for me: 

I attended a protest in Galveston yesterday, 2/1. I drove down from Houston. I saw the people who protest & do stuff there. There were 700 people I read. I knew a small number of them.

It’s like back in the day in Cincinnati, where I went to local punk shows in Indianapolis, Dayton, Columbus & Louisville. They had their own scenes. In some cases you’d get to know some of the people. Sometimes they’d come to Cincinnati.

It was all self-starting. People decided to form bands, find places to play, print a zine, go to Kinkos to print the flyers & show up to see the bands.

There are many different grassroots protest & political scenes in the Houston-region. A lot of organic stuff.
Folks with the willingness & autonomy to act against toxic systems are leading the fight against ICE & authoritarianism. We are self-organizing & getting to know each other. We are going to need each other.
​
If you want to take part, then please do. If you don’t, nobody is really interested in the reasons for your absence. Start your own scene. Do your own thing.
